I suggest purchasing the service manual. Or try YouTube.

 

I looked at manual and checked YouTube. absolutely nothing there.

 

Good for you for wanting to do your own car work. Lots of $$$ to save there.

Have you ever bled out brake fluid on any other car or watched it done? Same idea

Let me landline the other handyman on this site, @doyousensehumor

 

Dealer only?

Here's the thread I found.

https://www.ioniqforum.com/threads/how-to-change-engine-clutch-actuator-fluid.28729/

 

1st thing some of you others are going to think, is that this a a manual car. It is NOT. So the traditional methods of bleeding manual clutches may not apply here....

It is a "dual clutch" automatic.

For those that don't know, the Hyundai Ioniq is Hyundai's answer to the Prius. I don't know much about them; I've never even sat in one. Powertrain is different from other cars. It's automatic transmission, yet still have a clutch--only I think it is driven by the computer--which I *assume* requires a scantool to properly bleed.

In other words, it is electrohydraulic, which may mean that the electronic master cylinder needs to be manipulated to properly bleed.

If none of this makes sense, just go to a shop.

A few months ago, I test drove a little Smart Fortwo. I wasn't planning to buy it; I was just curious to see how it drove. They said that it has an "automated manual transmission"........which, from what I gathered, is basically a manual transmission with the shifting done automatically. I don't know how that differs from an automatic transmission. Is this the same kind of thing?

 

so its manual transmission on a hybrid ? first for me .
you have to raise the car possible to take a few items apart the starter might have to be removed the exhaust system ?
the part looks like this .https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-CS37498-Clutch-Slave-Cylinder/dp/B001PYG8FQ/ref=asc_df_B001PYG8FQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=375249767987&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8050328894831753834&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016909&hvtargid=pla-804771447971&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=79352187760&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=375249767987&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8050328894831753834&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016909&hvtargid=pla-804771447971
loosen that bleeder . prey to your god whoever that is that the bleeder does not break!!!! very fragile . .
open the bleeder pull the cap off where you fill prey to your god again you do not let it go dry or its a real son of a B to bleed these systems !!! again who told you to change this ? i would not change it...
it should and will be changed when you replace your clutch . all those parts come in a kit .
if your a hot dogger and insist on changing it to be a HERO .
my advice get a straw so on something to suck the fluid out where you put it in. refill it . go into the car pump the clutch repeat to its clean .
again there is zero reason to change this fluid ever it should last as long asthe clutch . fluid will last 20 years dot3
DO NOT PUMP THE CLUTCH WITH A DRY RESERVOIR ! done correctly you wasted 5 bucks on fluid . done incorrectly you bust a bleeder and spend 600 on labor and 200 on parts

 

DO NOT PUMP THE CLUTCH WITH A DRY RESERVOIR !

I've never been in one either, nor do I really work on hybrids that much. You are probably the only one who has talked remotely about hybrid work

Electronics have really ****ed up a lot of otherwise simple switches. In fact just a few days ago I tried to change brake pads on a ford. After hours of trying to shove the piston back on the caliper, basically what's was 3 of them at the same time, I finally came to the conclusion only fords computer could do it. Ended up costing the guy $800 to change BRAKE PADS only.

 

Look in SERVICE manual. Not owners manual.
Try this:

Google is your friend

Since 2000.

 

I paid $80 for dealership to replace engine clutch actuator fluid. Did I get ripped off?

 

Sounds like they charged your 30 mins of work + parts.

 

I am not sure dual clutch transmissions are a good idea to own yet, if longevity is a priority... Like CVT transmissions they may have a high failure rate.

Sometimes, old tech like boring slush-box automatics are more reliable.

Ford example... I haven't look into others. I usually deal with old cars.

Ford couldnt get it right to save their lives !

Hyundai has a 100,000 mile warranty at least !

 

I service my Prius myself most of the times, but always get lots of videos with detailed info on you tube. I think
It's more difficult to find anything on the Ioniq being a relatively new car in the market.

 

$80 for anything at a dealership is a steal.
